Chapter 2325: A Misunderstanding



Chapter 2325: A Misunderstanding

“It’s all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!” The great elder stepped forward to ease the situation.

Manager Pi replied apathetically, “A misunderstanding? My subordinates are lying dead on the ground. What kind of misunderstanding could there be?”

The guards behind him all walked forth as he spoke. Four of the triangle-headed monsters had large shield-like objects on their arms; when they moved together, Manager Pi was perfectly protected. Meanwhile, at the very front were four monsters whose limbs turned into blades. They were a bit similar to the monsters that had previously surrounded Jiang Luofu, but they were clearly stronger and of a higher level. There were also six marksman-like monsters who were scattered around the area. Their bows were aimed at Zu An.

The great elder wiped at the cold sweat on his forehead. “Donaire didn’t see Manager Pi just now. He thought that it was another monster who was harassing his female servants, which was why he acted more seriously.”

Zu An had already moved next to Jiang Luofu and Ji Xiaoxi. He patted their hands to tell them not to worry.

Jiang Luofu’s entire body had been tense. When she saw him, she completely relaxed. It really was strange; judging from how differential the great elder was acting, that Manager Pi on the other side was clearly an incredible person in the Monster World. The situation didn’t look good for them. But with Zu An here, she felt an indescribable sense of peace.

She secretly gave Xiaoxi a look. The latter's eyes were sparkling, full of her big brother Zu. Jiang Luofu couldn't help but chuckle.

Why am I suddenly acting like a little girl?

The toad spirit suddenly retorted coldly, “Then since you know now, shouldn’t you offer an apology and make amends?”

“Yes, yes, yes. Our True Demon race will definitely compensate you for the losses this time,” said the great elder with an apologetic smile. Donaire was the hope of the entire True Demon race, so they couldn't let anything happen to him. Even going bankrupt to avoid a disaster was worth it.

“But why isn’t Donaire coming here to greet Manager Pi?” The toad spirit’s voice suddenly became louder. He gave Zu An a displeased look.

The fat white Manager Pi raised his chin as if he considered himself unequaled in the world.

“About that…” The great elder was a bit troubled. He remembered what Donaire had told him along the way. In the end, he decided to quietly try to persuade the latter again. “Donaire, try to speak in a softer manner, and this matter should be fine after.”

Zu An nodded, but then looked back at the other side and remarked, “Is Manager Pi a mute?”

The great elder thought at first that Donaire would heed his advice and started to feel happy. At that moment, the smile on his face froze. He was stunned.

When he heard that, Manager Pi looked at Zu An in disbelief. “What did you say?”

You have successfully trolled Manager Pi for +100 +100 +100…

Even though he was utterly discomfited, his voice was still soft and a bit alluring.

Zu An said with a smile, “So Manager Pi wasn’t a mute. In that case…” He suddenly gave the toad spirit next to him a look. “If Manager Pi hasn’t said anything yet, is there a need for you to speak in his place as if you own everything? Who do you think you are?”

As the lord of a world himself, and as someone who had remained in a high position for quite a while, he now gave off an indescribable feeling of pressure.

“You… You…” The toad spirit immediately felt his entire body become weak when Zu An stared at him. Goosebumps covered his body, and he was so scared that he actually couldn't say anything.

It wasn’t just him; even Manager Pi felt a bit scared from his look and reflexively took a step back. But he immediately reacted.

The one I serve is the Monster Lord. Everyone needs to be respectful toward me. Why do I need to be scared?

He stuck out his chest again. “Hah! It seems you’ve become much braver in the time we’ve been apart, Donaire.”

“I paid the Cultivation World a visit and learned their customs. When a gentleman has been away for three days, he should be looked at with new eyes,” Zu An said calmly.

The great elder was so nervous that he almost ripped his beard out.

Just how are we supposed to clean up the situation now?!

“You’ve made this manager see you in a whole different light, as expected,” Manager Pi sneered.

The reason he'd come here was naturally not because of two pretty ladies. It was actually because he'd heard that his master had just met with Donaire, and yet instead of killing the latter as expected, his master had praised Donaire instead. Manager Pi had suddenly felt a sense of danger when he thought about how Donaire was actually attractive and intelligent, so he'd come here to take a look. He'd planned to use the two pretty ladies to pressure Donaire a bit.

If Donaire behaved the way he had in the past, he would most likely just submit to the humiliation. Perhaps he'd even take the initiative to hand over the women. That way, Manager Pi could vent out his resentment and also knock Donaire down a peg. It would be a win-win situation.

But why isn’t this guy playing his cards normally?

He flew into a rage out of humiliation. “This manager saw that these two female servants were undisciplined and helped educate them a bit. It’s one thing to not receive your thanks, but you actually dared to harm others?”

“Why would I need anyone else to educate my people?” Zu An retorted, looking back coldly.

Even though he was protected by a group of soldiers, Manager Pi was still a bit frightened by that look.

Donaire seems to be a bit different from usual today!

The toad spirit also snapped back to reality.

If I don’t say anything when my master is being wronged, I’ll definitely have to suffer for it once we return.

He gave the powerful guards around him a look and calmed down. He cleared his throat and shouted, “Donaire, don’t be so narrow-minded. The female servants you gave master weren’t any good and broke after they were played with just a few times. These two female servants are much better than the other ones in both appearance and physique, and judging from their stubbornness, they’ll surely be more resilient. Give them to the master and we won’t bother following up on the matter of killing master’s subordinates anymore.”

The guards all gave Zu An mocking looks when they heard that. There was contempt and scorn in their eyes. The Monster World was one where the strong reigned supreme, after all. This guy was so weak-willed that he'd previously actually given his women to the manager, so today’s actions were definitely just a bluff. He would still end up readily surrendering his women.

Ji Xiaoxi’s face paled a bit. She reflexively moved closer to Zu An’s side. Jiang Luofu held her tightly with an expression full of anger.

Zu An snorted coldly. With a wave of his hand, a spear on the ground shot out. It moved at such speed that it resembled a shooting star.

The guards around Manager Pi were horrified. The shield-bearing guards quickly assumed a defensive position in front of him.

But the spear was just too fast, and its angle was tricky. It passed straight through the opening between two shields. The tremendous force it carried made the two shield-bearing guards waver unsteadily from side to side. Meanwhile, the spear didn’t stop and stabbed straight through the toad spirit. It kept moving, dragging the toad's body off the ground and only stopping as it nailed the corpse to a large tree dozens of meters away.

The toad spirit’s corpse had an expression of shock and disbelief. He just couldn't understand why Donaire dared to do this.

I actually died even though I was behind such heavy protection?!

The other monsters finally reacted to the situation. All of Manager Pi’s guards drew their weapons and surrounded Zu An within. As they looked at him, however, their eyes were full of fear.

“Do… Donaire, this is just a misunderstanding!” Manager Pi swallowed with difficulty. If that spear had been aimed at him, he would already be dead.

A wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him!
